 | | On October 25, 1953, CKSO went to air in Sudbury as Canada's first privately-owned television station. |
 | | In the late 1960s, CKSO and CFCH merged to create Cambrian Broadcasting, and Lavigne established a network of CFCL retransmitters so vast that by 1972, it was the largest privately-owned microwave transmission network in the world. |
 | | In 1977, Lavigne acquired CHRO in Pembroke, Ontario, another small-market station which was struggling to stay financially viable, and in 1979, Cambrian sold its radio stations in Sudbury, CKSO and CIGM, to United Broadcasting. |
